//------------------------------// // How She Got Started and her First Love // Story: Behind the Turntable: DJ P0N-3 // by Brony_Prototype //------------------------------// “Things were hard for her” “I mean one night I felt like I was on top of the world and the next...” “I admit I had an addiction, I was a monster” Tonight we look at one of Ponyville's biggest music icons, a mare who was living her dream but it was a nightmare to get where she was. Take a look at the life of DJ P0N-3 tonight on... PH1: Behind the Music...DJ P0N-3 Ever since she made her debut in the music world two years ago, DJ P0N-3 has been a club sensation. Performing sets in clubs all throughout Ponyville, Manehattan, Phillydelphia, Canterlot and many more DJ P0N-3 has been a big name. She was born Vinyl Scratch to Crossfader and Promo, born in Ponyville she was interested in being a DJ ever since she first saw her father Crossfader practicing on his turntable. “I remember her sneaking down to the basement during the night and practice on my turntable, boy I remember hearing her scratch away,” said Crossfader. “Yeah, I used to sneak down and play. I found it pretty interesting at first...sure I wasn't any good at first but hey ya gotta crawl before ya trot right?” said DJ P0N-3. When she was six years old she had gotten her first ever turntable from her mother who too was a DJ. [A PICTURE OF DJ P0N-3 AS A FILLY HUGGING HER FIRST TURNTABLE POPS UP] “I remember her face lit up on her birthday, as soon as she ripped off that gold wrapping paper she screamed my first turntable! My first turntable! Boy she thanked us from here and back” said Promo. “I still have that turntable, I use it for inspiration but yeah...I remember just showing it off to my friends, but me and this one stallion...well he was a colt at the time named Rim Shot, he had gotten a set of drums for his birthday and I told him that my beats and his drum beats would sound cool together,” said DJ P0N-3. “Me and her used to have so much fun creating beats with her turntable and my drum kit! I mean yeah some were good and some were terrible but when we were young we knew we had a passion for music,” said Rim Shot. “I used to visit Rim Shot all the time and we'd discuss what we'd do when we were rich and famous, how we'd frivolously buy all these luxuries and such. Or we'd come up with different costume designs, actually I remember these sunglasses were actually Rim Shot's but he let me keep them because he didn't like them,” said DJ P0N-3 chuckling at the end of her sentence. As DJ P0N-3 and Rim Shot got older they had both developed a love for music and when they were teenagers they had formed their little group Vinyl Shot. “It was a corny name,” chuckled Rim Shot. “We just decided to combine both of our names together because we were pressed to think of a name for us,” said DJ P0N-3. [A PICTURE OF DJ P0N-3 ON HER TURNTABLE AND RIM SHOT PLAYING HIS DRUMS POPS UP] “They used to practice in our living room,” said Crossfader. “I remember one night they practiced until 2am and there were a few complaints from neighbors,” said Promo. “Yeah our music got pretty loud, but what do you expect when you get so immersed in music like that? I mean we were having fun!” said DJ P0N-3. “The one thing I liked about doing this was the fact that DJ P0N-3 and I had gotten closer to each other because truth be told I had a huge crush on her then,” said Rim Shot smiling “You see I knew Rim Shot liked me but at the time I really didn't want to be tangled in a relationship, I was to busy with my music and I used to say that there was plenty of time for that,” said DJ P0N-3. That didn't last however because a month after the forming of Vinyl Shot, DJ P0N-3 and Rim Shot started dating. “I just came out one day and I asked her on a date,” said Rim Shot. “I remember when Rim Shot first asked me out, it was a beautiful day out and Rim Shot came up to me and asked if I wanted to grab a bite. At first I was hoping he wasn't asking me on a date but as we were walking to go get something to eat I had gotten these weird feelings for him. I just couldn't explain it,” said DJ P0N-3. “They made a cute couple together” chuckled Promo. “I knew Rim Shot had a thing for her, it was clear as day and I trusted him because I went to Ponyville High with his father,” said Crossfader. The two were inseparable, they went everywhere with each other and they made music with each other as well. As each day passed with each practice session it seemed as if the duo were destined for fame and fortune. “Man, she'd practice hard everyday. She'd give a hundred and ten percent in what she did,” said Rim Shot. “I just wanted to be the best at the time, me and Rim Shot would practice like crazy. Slamming at his drums just going bang, boom, bang! I thought we had something going on not just relationship wise but music wise as well,” said DJ P0N-3. Coming up on PH1's Behind the Turntable comes back, we take a look into Vinyl Shot's first ever gig: “Man you should've seen that crowd!” exclaimed Rim Shot. “I swear I thought the roof was going to blow off we were so good!” exclaimed DJ P0N-3 (A/N) Well there was chapter one I hope you enjoyed it and don't fret I haven't forgotten about my other fic but this one just popped into my head out of nowhere...well also thank Bell Biv Devoe's hit “Poison” which also gave me the inspiration for this. I'll be writing more soon. Brohoof to y'all bronies! /) Also if you see anything in italics that's just me announcing.
